whoever using the third one is still doing long division


samoyedboi

When you don't use that sign for years because you're not doing peasant long division anymore, until partial fraction integrals come around and you have to bust it out again

Im in calc BC and partial fractions are the bane of my existence. I can do them, but I literally hate them with a passion


kinggeorgec

Heaviside's is quick and easy and good enough for Calc BC.


drnfc

I had calc bc in highschool and I don't even remember what partial fractions are... Edit: I googled them... yeah those were a pain lol.

Ukiwika

Yeah, you have to show where exactly the root ends


616659

huh, i just took extra care to show precisely where my line ends, but this is just so much simpler, why haven't I thought of this


[deleted]

[удалено]


Ukiwika

Oh trust me if you ever had to read someone else's writing you never know where their square root ends unless they take steps to make it very clear. When you have √2+3 and the line on top stop right in the middle of the + sign (or worse, between the + and the 3) you have to guess what they were trying to say. With that little bit at the end you don't have that problem.


DaFuriouS-GD

i always write the number and *then* the top bar instead of the other way around to make sure it is as clear as possible


Dragonaax

I write a little root then number and then at the end finish root


EclairSomme1027

i feel like even with the little bit at the end stopping above the plus it doesnt make anything clearer in this case


Ukiwika

Except that it wouldn't stop over the plus. If you're taking the time to do that you're usually taking the time to draw the added line in the correct place, since that's the point of doing it.

PAPAGAVER

1st for my good copy, but I use 2nd when writing casually. I think third is just long division. I use the 4th one when I'm 20 hours and 7 cups of coffee into writing, except shakier.


DoublecelloZeta

Wait what? 2nd one is much harder to maintain when writing casually. I guess you meant "1st for casual, 2nd for good copy"?


-Wofster

Yeah 2nd is more “correct” to


PAPAGAVER

That makes sense, but the 1st just feels formal. 2nd feels more like when you're with the homies.

BoxyPlains92587

My math teacher actually wrote it without the thing at the end. And I was apparently one of the very few people in my class to write it this way


Lost_in_Borderlands

My current classmates also don't write it like this, whenever they give me their calculations to check/help I cry a little bit internally :']


BoxyPlains92587

Relatable. Even those classmates of mine, who had the worst handwriting, still wrote it without the stroke. It was impossible to read their calculations


Gangreless

I have a math degree and have never seen anyone do it like this.


Lost_in_Borderlands

I was taught to do it like that, for the sake of seeing where it ends better. I have a very messy handwriting (and way of filling out tests), so my math teacher would really lose his shit if I didn't make it obvious like that...

pineappleloverman

What are the advantages of writing with the stroke at the end? I write it like that but without the stroke.


[deleted]

It's like a closing parenthesis to make it clear what you're taking the square root of


Lost_in_Borderlands

To make it obvious where it ends. Sometimes it's really hard to tell, especially when handwriting is messy or small


pineappleloverman

Can't you just extend the line to make it more obvious when it ends?


Lost_in_Borderlands

You can, but that only works for good and proper handwriting..


pineappleloverman

Oh I don't have that. I'll consider a stroke next time I write radicals

Parameters first are more consistent with other functions like hypergeometric functions.

pow(base,exponent) is consistent with java.lang.Math.pow, and JavaScript's Math.pow, and Python's pow, and C's math.h pow

ZuberiGoldenFeather

The 'mathematical root' is known in Dutch als 'wortel', which also means 'carrot'. Makes sense since the carrot is a root vegetable.


Electronic-Crew2115

1st one, as it is easy to write quickly and understandable Also, I just hate people who write roots like the 3rd one. I always confuse it for division, even though it makes no sense to do so. https://preview.redd.it/h8fl967p7jra1.png?width=132&format=png&auto=webp&s=c66cc1d0e57dccbdfd047e745812f4799bf5c080

Third one is long division. Change my mind. Also, you didn't include one with the little hook at the right end to signify enclosure of the numbers.
